it is bizarre. CTE can only be diagnosed after death, during autopsy, so I guess it's a claim that can't really be refuted and he "may" think he suffers from it but it's an odd thing to bring up in those circumstnces IMO.

Christopher Gregor described his child’s mother as a “special kind of dirtbag” just two days after he allegedly killed his son.nypost.com
Interesting article. The video of him getting pulled over is indeed so bizarre. Also CG told the officers he played football and may suffer from CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) I wonder why he would make such a bizarre claim
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF CTE?
Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy can manifest itself in many ways. In more advanced stages of CTE, psychiatric manifestations occur. These include emotional and behavioral dysfunction, impulsivity, irritability, and poor frustration tolerance. Also, many patients develop depression, anxiety, and possibly even psychotic symptoms, like paranoia or hallucinations. The symptoms of CTE vary between afflicted individuals. A growing number of retired athletes diagnosed with CTE after death died as a result of suicide.
HOW IS CHRONIC TRAUMATIC ENCEPHALOPATHY DIAGNOSED?
CTE can only be definitively diagnosed during an autopsy after the patient has passed away. During the autopsy, doctors will analyze the brain tissue of the deceased who have shown symptoms of CTE. Specifically, doctors are looking for a pattern of tau protein in the brain that can confirm the diagnosis. Although they are not currently able to identify CTE in living patients, researchers are working to develop diagnostic tests to officially identify CTE while people are still alive.

Is it possible one of the senior Gregors (say mommy maybe) was googling and looking for some explaination for some troubling behavioral or mental health changes noticed in their son and suggested that may be the cause of his "poor frustration tolerance" and his "irritibility" ? So suddenly his bad behavior has an excuse in his own mind.
A sort of "Not my fault. I played football so I probably DO have CTE"
